Right, that also didn't work, which matches modprobe not being called
correctly

aha, these two were indeed different from where my modprobe is so it is
a setup problem -- I might have been a little rash with this initrd
setup and modprobe ended up in /bin with path here in /sbin...

Thanks for the pointer, I saw the code setup an environment with a
full-blown PATH so didn't think of checking if this kind of setting
existed!
All looks in order then :)
